South East Politicians Are Cowards, Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Explodes In New Interview

Issa long read though! Not too long but atleast you will know his stand about Kanu's cause and his whereabout.

Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous
Peoples Of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, enraged with politicians in Southeast
for taking sides with the Nigerian government on the proscription of
IPOB, has labelled all politicians especially Governors as cowards for
not supporting the demands for IPOB.

Barrister Ejiofor, who has been the legal counsel to Nnamdi Kanu and Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB), disclosed to SaharaReporters
during an interview that politicians in South Eastern part of the
country did not support Nnamdi Kanu because they are more concerned
about securing their political positions. He added that the politicians
prefer to do this at the expense of backing the cause championed by
Nnamdi Kanu. He claimed the current crops of politicians in the region
of the country would be swept out of office in the next general election
in 2019.

“Southeast governors have no power to say IPOB is a terrorist and that
is very certain. I condemned it, and they’ve withdrawn it saying they
never at any point say that. What they said is a political statement to
obtain favor from the federal government.” Barrister Ejiofor said.

The lawyer added, “Some of them are cowards and are saying that because
they want to secure their political offices. We will mobilise youths who
will come out in 2019 to sweep out all of the politicians.”

Responding to claim made by a former governor Abia, Orji Uzor Kalu who
said Nnamdi Kanu had left the shores of the country after the attack on
his house by military personnel. Barrister Ifeanyi asserted that Mr.
Kalu is concerned about causing harm and unrest in the country.

The former Governor of Abia State said he spoke with one of the
relatives of the missing IPOB leader who revealed to him Nnamdi Kanu is
now in London. Reacting to this, the Barrister said, “Orji Uzor Kalu is a
politician who I believe is looking for an avenue to get favour from
the government and that is why he is saying what he is not sure of.”

“I asked if he was there with the rampaging soldiers when the premises
was invaded? He was not there. Also, he said my client went to London
through Malaysia. Travelers will tell you it is not possible for
somebody to travel to Malaysia and from there to the United Kingdom, it
is not possible. Kalu’s statement is false and targeted at causing
mischief because the military knows they have my client.” The lawyer for
the group said.

The lawyer affirmed that Mr. Kalu has not spoken with any relatives of Nnamdi Kanu since the attack took place.

“I can authoritatively confirm that no member of my client’s family
spoke to him and that is certain. He does not have access to any of his
relatives whether brother or sister.”

Barrister Ifeanyi, commenting on the attack and shooting that took place
in Nnamdi Kanu’s residence, he insisted that the military is working
together with the federal government and Hausa leaders. He opined that
the action is targeted at alienating the Igbos and to silence demand for
Biafra.
He said, “This is a Northern agenda to cleanse the entire igbos. Those
who are demanding for Biafra do not wield weapons nor carry arms. The
army is following the ploy to forcefully capture Nnamdi Kanu and silence
his supporters. There are other people like the herdsmen who walk about
with AK-47s, but the government has not deployed the military against
them.”

Convinced that Nnamdi Kanu is in the custody of the military, Barrister
Ejiofor demanded his client be released whether he is dead or alive.

“The attack was properly mapped because they came to inspect the house
two days before they struck. They shot at everyone and everything in the
premises including dogs and cars. They entered the bedroom, and bullet
holes can be seen all over the walls. I'm very sure they are with him,
and I have petitioned the military to ensure they produce him dead or
alive. He is a prince, and if he is dead, they should release his body
for a befitting burial. I have said and still insisting that the
military must produce him on the next adjourned court date.”

Nnamdi Kanu has been missing with whereabout unknown since the attack on
his house by the Nigeria military on September 14. However, the
military has denied invading the home of the IPOB leader and insisting
they don't have him custody
